Purchasing a memorial is a major investment of time and money and needs careful and relaxed planning when purchasing it. Whether you are making immediate or pre-need arrangements for purchasing a cemetery monument, you should know that you are not obligated to purchase a monument from a funeral home.
Things to look for when consulting a
monument builder
1. Your local monument builder is a reliable source of information regarding the various regulations of the cemeteries in your area. Since cemeteries have regulations regarding the size and type of memorial in certain areas of the cemetery, it is wise to consult with a monument builder before you purchase your cemetery property.
2. Visit a permanent showroom to see the different styles of monuments or markers. If you are unable to visit a showroom, discuss your needs with the monument builder. Most offer some type of home services. Monument builders will help you design a memorial and then complete all that is required to produce the memorial from inscription to installation.
3. Most monument builders will prepare drawings or sketch of overview of the cemetery that help you visualize the finished memorial as well as to check for any possible errors before the final work is completed on the stone.
4. Before you buy a cemetery, ask what kind of monuments and markers they use. A monument builder is a good source of information on cemetery policies in your community. Some cemeteries, often called memorial parks, only allow flat markers. When you purchase a cemetery lot, be sure to know if traditional upright monuments are allowed and if there are limitations on location and size.
5. Many cemeteries charge a variety of fees for installation of the monument, perpetual care, maintenance, and other add-on services. Some cemeteries will tell a customer that they are the only ones who can install a monument, that installation costs are part of the lot price or that since your family member is buried in our cemetery that you have to purchase your monument from them.
6. Ask questions before you buy a cemetery plot and be sure you receive satisfactory answers.
